Neil Young wasn’t really a fan of Woodstock
“Woodstock was a bullshit gig, a piece of shit,” Neil Young once told biographer Jimmy McDonough (via The Globe and Mail). “We played [expletive] awful. No one was into the music.”
I guess that means he probably wasn’t much of a fan of our Woodstock retrospective. Oh well, can’t win them all…
leave it to neil to tell the truth
Turns out a lot of musicians playing Woodstock hated it. Apparently, the sound quality was utter shit.

This isn’t news.
Neil Young was a top musician from the start and if he did say this, but more than likely he did not … its all about perspective. All of us grey-hairs should know about perspective by now.
You do know he was referring to CSNY’s performance, right? Not to the festival? Or are you really that dense?
LoL…
